Summary: Could have been better
Review: I thought the film was OK, although it kinda freaked me out a bit, plus I don't think I quite understood it. I thought maybe getting the book (which is actually the script and not a novel, which I would have preferred) would help me understand it better. Plus, I love reading the books of movies, or vice versa. This made me want to watch the film again! It offered no insight into the film whatsoever, which was unfortunate. You do have a (short) introduction by Jake Gyllenhaal and a (long) interview with Richard Kelly. Which had its points. What you don't hear is all about his destructive childhood and all his failures with women which influenced this movie blah-de-blah-de-blah. (OK, I made that bit up) The bits about the movie were good, although nothing you haven't heard before. There was a lack of photos to this, mainly cos they all appeared at the end. They were quite interesting, despite being all in black and white (why not colour?) Some of them looked quite funky in black & white, particularly the ones of (oh God, I'm going to have to go back, and copy and paste his name all over again!) Jake Gyllenhaal. There are also some drawings of Frank, which are pretty basic. To make this better: have the novel of it. There's so much cut out from a script, and you tend to skip bits, or not know which person is talking, as you haven't seen the film in so long (I was getting the teachers muddled up - couldn't remember which one was Drew Barrymore). Great for fans, and maybe it'll be worth re-reading if I ever re-watch the movie!

Summary: Solid read for fans of the movie
Review: This book doesnt provide a whole lot of new material, but does offer much insight into the movie based on the actors and director commentary. If you're a fan of the movie, it's definitely worth the purchase - by the way, has anyone seen the producer of the film Sean McKittrick? What a hottie!

Summary: Goes well with cheeze wiz
Review: This book is written to make a bunch of money so buy the thing to give kelly some more dough.
The good part of this book is that since its a book no acting is involved so there's no bad acting.
I recommend this for a Pulitzer Prize. Rich Kelly is the next Nobel Laureate, just wait and see.
Buy this book if you hated darko because of the bad acting because, like I mentioned earlier, books cannot contain bad acting.
Better yet, just send the man a check and save yourself some time.
Later, chumps.

Summary: An interesting find
Review: While this doesn't provide any definate answers as there are many interpretations, it does provide a foreword by Jake Gyllenhaal, an interview with Richard Kelly (info on the film), the screenplay, images from Roberta Sparrow's Philosophy of Time Travel, artwork and images from the movie and additional artwork from the "They Made me Do It" exhibition. Not exactly what I was expecting, I thought it would be more of a novel. But it's definately not your average movie book. You don't have to be a fanatic to read this either, it's an interesting read.
